Rumours of the RX 6700 series first came about through a tweet by Patrick Schur (@patrickschur_), who posted the technical code for two cards, presumably the RX 6700XT and 6700. Schur’s tweet also points to both cards being powered by a Navi 22 GPU, specifically a Navi 22 XT and Navi 22 XTL, as well as 12GB GDDR6 of graphics memory. In addition, Schur alleges that the 6700XT will have a power envelope between 186W and 211W, while the 6700 will be somewhere between 146W and 156W. For context, those numbers are lower than the power consumption of AMD’s last-generation Radeon RX 5700XT, which is rated for 225W on a full load.
— Patrick Schur (@patrickschur_) November 20, 2020 There is, sadly, no additional details about the two mid-range RDNA2 GPUs, not even its projected performance numbers and launch date. That said, the world still has yet to see how AMD’s top-tier 6900XT will perform, so it’s likely that we’ll only be seeing the 6700 series sometime early next year. Of course, this is just a rumour and as such, we recommend that you take this news with a pinch of salt. (Source: Patrick Schur via Twitter, Hot Hardware)
